Yessss! We offer 1 hr long complimentary consultations. Consults are perfect for those considering Permanent Makeup, but have questions. We'll go over the process step-by-step, discuss shape and color selection, and discuss any of your questions/concerns! Please feel free to bring any current brow pencils, eyeliner pencils, or lipsticks you currently use.
Permanent Makeup (PMU) is an advanced form of tattooing that should only be performed by highly trained artists. PMU is designed specifically for the face to create beautiful and natural makeup looks to enhance your natural beauty!
PMU pigments are formulated to fade gradually over time, which is a good thing! Trends change and our preferences change, so this allows you to make adjustments to your PMU in the future. No matter how much the pigment fades, there will almost always be trace amounts of ink left within the skin. This is why we call our service "permanent makeup," although the ink is considered "semi-permanent."
PMU will last anywhere from 1-3 years depending on skin type, lifestyle, metabolism, and aftercare. We recommend scheduling future touch-ups or "color boosts" as needed, to keep your Permanent Makeup looking it's best!
If you're unsure whether it's time for a future touch-up or color boost, please text or email us some photos!
The pain level is minimal - NONE! We use a medical grade topical anesthetic (numbing cream) to keep our clients comfortable throughout all PMU services.
We provide aftercare instructions and aftercare kits containing everything you will need to help ensure beautifully healed results! The healing time is approximately 14 days, but you may resume most normal day-to-day activities during this time.
As a nurse owned and operated business, we exceed the standards for health and safety. Not only are we licensed by the health department, but we go above and beyond state regulations. We only use the highest quality equipment and tools for our clients. All tools are sterile and single use.
We use primarily Li Pigments and Permablend Pigments.
We get it. Permanent Makeup may seem intimidating. I mean, this is your face we're talking about! However, we are properly trained and certified with lots of experience, so there's no need to worry! When you choose Modern Microblading, you are choosing the experts in Permanent Makeup!
A common concern is EYELINER: When tattooing eyeliner we pretend we are tattooing a balloon, which means we are EXTREMELY careful around the eye area.
People of ALL ages, 18 or older, can get PMU! There are some health conditions that may prevent someone from being a good candidate (please check with your doctor or schedule a consultation with us!) And this isn't just for women...men are welcome too!
PREGNANCY: Unfortunately our policy is NO Permanent Makeup or Tattoo Removal services during pregnancy. There isn't enough research. Baby could feel discomfort, or if mom is anxious then her blood pressure could rise. There's also an increased risk of bleeding for pregnant women due to increased blood volume in the body during pregnancy.
.
BREASTFEEDING: You MUST consult with your doctor and obtain a doctors note stating it is okay. The risk of infection is rare, but if a mother were to get an infection and be placed on antibiotics then the antibiotics could be transferred to the baby via breast milk. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INFECTIONS.
